    Cleaning medals?

    If you want it plated, Willian Scully Ltd in Montreal is the best I have found. He has been doing it for years and is very reasonably priced.

    APRIL FOOLS 2006 - Army.ca Transfer of Ownership

    "The stuff the army issues is useless" and "no non-issue kit over seas!"

    The extra pouches are the add-ons that come with the small pack and more with the new ruck wheneverit arrives on the scene. The TV is adjustable and you can lower your 4 mags pouches. But they are hard to get into when the vest is new.

    "The stuff the army issues is useless" and "no non-issue kit over seas!"

    We had the same articles in 2002 in regards on painting our webbing and weapons with tan paint and using LBV's. As for the up armoured turret i was there when they were measuring and making a wood mock up. I though they were out of their minds and NEVER though it would actually happen because of...

    "The stuff the army issues is useless" and "no non-issue kit over seas!"

    Yes, the infantry are suppose to be a hardy bunch but it still sucks when there are other people living better than you and you are on the same team. We lived in tents/holes in the ground for 6 months and it sucked too and we bitch about it. The same type questions were asked in 2002 to the CDS...

    New RMC duty dress?

    Afghan Medals Process (merged)

    Maybe you should join the boy scouts and collect merit badges. If your going on tour to receive the gongs your priorities are screwed up. The job is about being the quiet professional and hopefully someone will notice. I have taken more pride in the locals saying "thank you" than the pieces of...

    Holding Class B jobs for reservists that go on tour (Split: 220 Reservists Needed for TF 03-06)

    Maybe this can be change by going to a pool system where a pers desiring a call out would be placed in a National/Regional pool. Then qualified pers can be applied to a specific job and not people applying for the choice/specfic jobs and disregarding the humdrum positions. Smaller communities it...

    Holding Class B jobs for reservists that go on tour (Split: 220 Reservists Needed for TF 03-06)

    They should return back to their units and pass this experience on to their counterparts, not return back to the driver task, HQ's, etc. This would also allow other Reservists that want Class B employment to be given the opprotunity/to gain experience. If there is no one that can fill this...
